Russian oil refineries boost output as drone attacks halt after US-brokered deal, sources say

Russian oil refineries have increased crude processing by 25% in the second half of October. This increase followed the cessation of persistent drone attacks on the facilities by Ukrainian forces. Amid these attacks, authorities had previously banned the export of gasoline and diesel to manage internal fuel shortages. After the attacks stopped, refineries swiftly restarted operations, which allowed for increased diesel production.
